Mortality of surgically treated 80-year-old or older intracranial meningioma patients in comparison to matched general population

Abstract Population aging is likely increasing the number of surgically treated very old (≥ 80–year-old) intracranial meningioma (IM) patients. Since there is little data on mortality in this patient group, we studied whether survival of surgically treated very old IM patients differs from survival...
